The Jangipur election will see a three-way contest between TMC candidate and former state minister Zakir Hussain, who held the seat in 2016. BJPK Sujit Das, and Alam Mian of RSP. The RSP is a member of the Left Front. During the March-April elections, the ruling party did not field Hussain as he was still recovering from serious injuries sustained in the February 17 bombing at Nimatita railway station in Murshidabad. Jangipur has traditionally been a Congress stronghold. The Grand Old Party has won the seat 11 times so far. However, this time the party, which contested the elections earlier this year in alliance with the Left Front, has left it to the RSP.
